The Black Knight Halberd boasts impressive base damage. However, like other black knight weapons it cannot be enchanted and is heavier than some other halberds, with considerably lower scaling. Like all Black Knight weapons, it deals additional 20% damage to demons.

The Black Knight Halberd actually resembles a Glaive rather than a Halberd.

When shown in the E3 demo, the Black Knight Halberd's weak attack, both in one and two hands, was identical to the Halberd's weak attacks.

If the player is backstabbed whilst wielding the Black Knight Halberd in two hands, so long as they don't move after recovering, upon standing up the player's upper body will spin 360 degrees. The glitch has no effect on gameplay.
